Athens Athenian: DeHaven's |
circus drewa good crowd yesterday |
and gave general satisfaction. The
performance in some particulars, was
far superior to many of the average
that make greater pre-
tensions.
Mr.. R. II. Ellsworth, our enter
prising and progressive nurseryman,
has been marketing some very fine
strawberries here during thelas week.
He has several acres in this delicious
luxury, and as our home market can
not consume them all, he will ship to
other points.
Captain Mcclure, of the local
base ball club, treated the Smithville
club with much eoolness-at Smart &
Co.'S ice cream parlor-after the game
Saturday evening. We presume
this was in retaliation for the visi-
tors making it so warm for the home
boys during the game.
Chattanooga Times: The Geo.
DeHaven shows exhibited again last
night to literally packed tent. The
seats were all packed to overhowing
and the ground all the way up to the
ring was covered with spectators.
The company presented very good
attractions and gave general satisfac-
ton.
Mr.. j. l.. McGehee, one Of War
rem county's most progressive farm
ers, is building a silo on his farm
about three miles from town, and
will make a practical test of ensilage
for stock feed. So far as we know he
is the the first Warren county farmer
to undertake the venture, and we feel
satisfied that he will find it a profit
able investment.
The Geo. w. DeHaven show and
menagerie will exhibit in McMinn-
vile next Wednesday, May 18th.
Our exchanges in all the Tennessee
towns where this show has exhibited
speak in flattering terms of it. They
do away with a great deal of the
spread eagle display of the ordinary
circus, and give meritorious show
under their canvass. Their popular
scale oflowprices draws large crowds.
They give the fullest satisfaction
everywhere.
Our last Legislature, in rearrang-
ing the Chancery Court calendar for
this division, by some kind of an
oversight, fixed the times for hold
ing the Chancery Courts in Warren
and Lincoln counties on the same
days, to-wit: the second Monday in
May and November. That the bill
could have passed three readings in
each house of the General Assembly
without this duplication of dates be-
ing discovered, shows how much in,
terest our solons take in framing laws
for the people. AS the Chancellor
cannot be in two courts, a hundred
miles apart, at the same time, one OF
the other must be delayed for two Of
three days each term, until the meet
ing of the next General Assembly.
The game of base ball played
here last Saturday afternoon between
the Smithville and McMinnvill'
clubs drew large crowd of people O
all ages, and Notwithstanding thu
game was very one-sided from tn,
beginning, it was quite interesting
to the close. The visitors had largely
the advantage of the locals in thei
pitcher. He put them in so swift,
that the boys frequently pounded tn
air with the bat after the ball hat
gone by. The home team did decid
edly the best fielding, but the Smith
villes rubbed it on to them in bat
ting. The locals got badly ratified o.
one inning, and let the visitors scor
up thirty-two runs on them. The
, rallied manfully, however, and YER
neatly whitewashed the visitors O
the next inning. Mr.. Gallagher, {
the home team, got lots of applause
= as we'll as flowers, for his good plays
3 Mr.. Rains also did splendid work q
e catcher. Both clubs did some fin
playing for amateurs. The scor
e stood, Smithvilles 81; McMinnvill
f IA. The second game is to be playe
S at Smithville next Saturday, Ma
1 DIST.
